OBITUARY

* — MBS. P. MAHONY, WELLINGTON. (From an occasional correspondent.) Deepest sympathy is felt for the relatives of Mrs. P. Mahony;' who died on Sunday, November 19. The deceased lady was born in Ireland, and came to this country about 32 years ago. She was the first treasurer of the Irish Land League fund on the West Coast.- A few years later she married and settled in Greymouth, where, with her husband, she resided for a period of 25 years. From there she removed to Wellington North, where she resided up to the time of her death. Those who had the pleasure of her acquaintance found in her a true friend. For many years she evinced an untiring zeal in Church affairs, and the success she attained will be long remembered. She was a member of the ArchConfraternity of the Sacred Heart, Thorndon, and her pious example as a Catholic always reflected the virtues of a truly Christian soul. During the .three, months of her last illness she showed truly Christian fortitude. She leaves a husband (Mr. P. Mahony) and six daughters and one son to mourn their sad loss. Quite a number of sympathisers attended the Requiem Mass at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Hill street, and the last solemn rites at the graveside. R.l.P,
